SEGMENT #1 ­ "NewsWrap": Massachusetts' Supreme Judicial Court sayss that
anything other than civil marriage for same gender couples is less than equal,
candidate Kerry wants civil unions while President Bush seems to want a
Constitutional marriage "protection" amendment from Congress; Indiana's
GOP-controlled Senate overwhelmingly approves a state constitutional amendment banning
legal recognition of queer unions, Ohio's Republican governor signs a bill
"defending" marriage and benefits from same gender and hetero partners, and Utah
moves to deny recognition to civil unions and common law marriages; a Washington
state appeals court upholds a ruling imposing on a separating lesbian couple
the same property division requirements applied to divorcing married couples;
and a Florida appeals court certifies an undercover cop's sex appeal [written
by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to GRAHAM UNDERHILL, FENCEBERRY, REX WOCKNER
and GREG GORDON, and anchored this week by RICK WATTS & CINDY FRIEDMAN] [8:50]

SEGMENT #2 - Billboard for Croatia and Valentine's features (over
instrumental beginning of this segment's intro music) [:10] + Members and allies of
VANCOUVER's transgender community are preparing for a full-scale battle over the
right of transwomen to participate in women-only spaces. A BRITISH COLUMBIA
Supreme Court judge ruled in late December that KIMBERLY NIXON did not have
the right to be a counsellor at a women-only rape crisis centre -- even though
she herself is a survivor of male violence. The decision overturned an earlier
landmark ruling in Nixon's favor by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal. Since
then an appeal has been launched, and feminist and gay rights organizations have
expressed interest in joining the case. This Way Out's HEATHER KITCHING was
on hand in late January for the community's first strategy session, and heard
more from Nixon and her attorney BARBARA FINDLAY (with intro music from "My
Sorority" performed by JESSICA XAVIER) [7:40] + "TWO" I.D. by TERENCE STAMP
('Bernadette' in "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert", with intro
music from "Finally" from the movie soundtrack) [:20]. . . . . . . . . . . . .

SEGMENT #3 - Valentine's feature billboard [:05] + Activists from around
the world got a chance to hear about each other's struggles and victories at
the 22nd World Conference of the International Lesbian and Gay Association held
in Manila late last year. JELENA POSTIC of the CROATIAN group CONTRA reported
on the complex relationship between queer rights and other social justice
movements there [recorded and edited by UMA KALI SHAKTI of 2SER-FM/Sydney's
"Gaywaves"] [3:40] . . . . . . . . . . . 3:45
SEGMENT #4 - Romance was in the air at the SAN FRANCISCO LGBT Community
Center when ALLA PEKAREVA and HEATHER RIGGALL of the outLoud queer youth radio
project [www.outloudradio.org] paid a visit to collect sentiments for this audio
Valentine (with thanks to outLoud's NOAH MILLER, and music from "Praise You"
performed by FATBOY SLIM). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3:35
